The Customer Audit Specialist maintains oversight of audit project schedules, risks, scope, and cross‑department collaboration to support customer audit requests and outcomes. While the position may occasionally interact directly with customers, its primary responsibility is to coordinate internally ensuring that the right subject‑matter experts are engaged, documentation is gathered, and audit requirements are met. The role does not own or resolve audit findings.

Instead, it identifies and routes findings to the appropriate functional owners, tracks their progress, and drives accountability to ensure timely updates and closure. Additionally, this role will work with cross‑functional partners to help design, establish, and refine a sustainable process for identifying owners, monitoring status, and ensuring timely completion of corrective actions. This experienced professional role applies in-depth knowledge of audit, compliance, and cross - functional operations, while continually building technical and business expertise.

The Customer Audit Specialist contributes to the creation of new processes, process improvements, and can train or mentor new colleagues. The role supports strong internal alignment and contributes to maintaining the organization’s reputation for operational excellence and audit readiness.

Ideal candidate should be within a commutable distance to Alpharetta, GA, Boca Raton, FL or Dayton, OH for occasional onsite meetings.
